Most known for his popular young-adult novels, including the collaboratively written (with Rachel Cohn) Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, David Levithan visits with his lovely and timely (Valentine's Day time) first adult book, The Lover's Dictionary (Farrar, Straus & Giroux). "Interestingly, each definition is told from the point of view and in the first-person voice of only one of the partners. The other partner's voice remains silent except as quoted by the narrator. Nevertheless, both come wonderfully alive, emerging as complex, multidimensional human beings, happy and unhappy, ebullient and angry, sweet and sour, and so—delightfully—forth ... Nothing is cut-and-dried, however, as Levithan demonstrates, intimacy is sometimes enigmatic and, as he notes under ineffable, 'No matter how many words there are, there will never be enough.' So you must pick and choose which to use, an act that Levithan has accomplished artfully and satisfyingly." – Booklist.

In addition to also writing books for young readers, David Levithan has been active in publishing books for them, as an editorial director at Scholastic Books.
